Bubbles



This is the posting for the Bubbles I bought in Aug. For 45.00.

" Here is a Large 23"  Composition and Soft "Bubbles" Doll by Effanbee
Please review all photos before bidding. Doll does require restoring , Eyes has lost color, Cry feature does not work, and cosmetically needs TLC. This is an Estate find and I am selling "AS IS" Not sure if the clothes are original to this doll but they do look old and will requiring cleaning.
Thanks for looking"


I was so taken with that darling face that I failed to notice that Bubbles had cloth legs instead of compo as I was expecting.  No matter, compo legs can always be replaced if it becomes necessary.  For now I've crocheted a lovely outfit that covers her from head to toe.  I took off her head a got some bent needle nose pliers to remove eyes and set to work painting them.  Am excited.

Basket of Babies

Here are a few babies waiting for clothes, cleaning and restoration.  The bassinet is from the Ramona Food and Clothes Closet only $9.99, and it rocks.  I crocheted the pink and blue blankets.

Restoration Doll #1. ABC Toy Co. Mama Doll

I ordered this doll from EBay this morning. $20.00 includes shipping.  I liked the fact that the head was already split.  She has sleep eyes and lovely clothes, shoes and socks.  This isn't a priceless antique and in "rough" shape according to seller.  I don't need to be afraid to dig into this one.  At this point she looks like a "Lindsey".  I am excited, can't wait for her to arrive.








This is what I think she is supposed to look like.
